Veteran Senate Republican Leader Scott Fitzgerald has defeated Democrat Lori Compas in Tuesday's recall elections.
Democrats angry with Republican Gov. Scott Walker's contentious plan that all but ended most public workers' union rights forced the governor, Lt. Gov. Rebecca Kleefisch, Fitzgerald and two other GOP senators into recalls. They also were trying to capture an open seat in Tuesday's elections.
Walker claimed he had to impose the union restrictions to balance the state budget. Democrats saw the moves as a direct attack on organized labor.
Compas, a Fort Atkinson photographer, has never held public office and faced a difficult fight against Fitzgerald. He has represented his southeastern Wisconsin district in the Senate for nearly two decades.

Exactly! “...the few viewers they have...”
Idiots, all!!!
Hopefully the good guy wins...if not...RECOUNT and RECALL!!!
You’re so right. The results are slow in part because there was a power outage in part of Racine. Of all the times this could happen.

Harry Reid, 2010 anyone?
RECOUNT and RECALL!!!
Krap.
It just got worse, the Democrat (John Lehman) has declared victory. IMHO, it’s premature, as his lead is only 31,410 to 31,092. As far as I can tell, Van Wanggaard hasn’t conceeded.

Less than 300 votes?
FRAUD!
RECOUNT and RECALL!!!
He might have conceded but the vote counters haven’t. They have Lehmann up now.
They just keep counting. Now he's up by almost 800.
So that’s about 80 votes PER HOUR from when I went to bed, till I got up...funny how the RAT ALWAYS gains votes...
RECOUNT AND RECALL - shove it up THEIR asses!!!
” “Come on now, let me go to bed happy.”
Amen and Amen!”
